Find Clarity and Peace of Mind with HSV-1 Testing
Living with uncertainty about herpes simplex virus exposure can be emotionally draining. We understand the anxiety and questions that come with potential HSV-1 infection concerns. Our confidential, accurate HSV-1 IgG serum test provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence in your health journey.
Understanding Your HSV-1 IgG Test
The HSV-1 IgG serum test detects antibodies your body produces in response to herpes simplex virus type 1 infection. This isn’t just a test – it’s a tool for understanding your health status and making informed decisions. IgG antibodies typically develop several weeks after initial infection and remain detectable, helping identify both recent and past exposures.
Using advanced CLIA-certified methodology, our test delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. The process is straightforward: a simple blood draw provides the sample needed for comprehensive analysis.
Who Should Consider HSV-1 Testing?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Cold sores or oral blisters
- Unexplained oral discomfort or tingling
- Concerns about past HSV-1 exposure
- Planning pregnancy and want baseline health information
- Partner has been diagnosed with HSV-1
- General sexual health screening
Many South Africans live with HSV-1 without realizing it, as symptoms can be mild or absent. Knowing your status empowers better health management and informed relationship decisions.
